No it doesn't. xorgcfg actually defaults to writing xorg.conf to some=20= subdirectory of /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 or some such nowadays rather than=20 /etc/X11. You can see that path when you ask it to save the=20 configuration. Probably the docs need to be updated to include the=20 other more cryptic path as another place to look besides /etc/X11. --=20 John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve" =3D http://www.FreeBSD.org=
